Tournament business

Atlanta loves Lauri Dagostino.

The city's convention and visitors bureau is in the business of attracting the nation's biggest events to its facilities. And as it happens, Dagostino's event fits that bill.

The CVB estimates her Tournament Magic company will create an economic impact of more than $19 million for the city in 2010.
(Whether you trust economic impact estimates or not, compare that number to the CVB's estimate for the Chik-fil-A Bowl of $30 million.)
